Let's give a big, fat, old cheer for Ryan Gilmorre, who is going to be published in the next issue of inch. Inch is a site that publishes VERY SHORT poems and VERY SHORT stories. Which isn't a bad idea. You get more variety for each issue that you pick up. (And if something that you're reading sucks, you know that it'll be over in a paragraph or two. So, that's good too.)
Anywho, the good folks at Inch have picked up a VERY SHORT poem from Mr.Gilmorre. And that's worth celebrating!
Ryan has stepped away from improv (mostly) to focus on his writing and I really, really admire that. He's got a tenacity for writing and for submitting his writing, that I can only admire. Sure, I crap out words on this webpage, but Ryan seeks out outlets for his words and gets them published. (He also had a short story picked up by some other 'zine, a few months ago.) I'm sure that he's had his fair share of rejection too, but he's still in there, slugging away. I genuinely believe that his work ethic is going to pay off for him. I genuinely believe that he's going to keep accumulating writing credits and good reputation and that this will lead him to the career path that he wants.
I'm proud as Hell for him, today. (Not enough to spell his name correctly, but still pretty proud nonetheless.) And I wanted to share that with you.
Cheers,
Mr.B
